    How do I search my files by tags only?


    I'm trying to find tagged photos of myself, but when I search by my name it brings up EVERY PHOTO because my name is also my Windows username. How do I search by only the tags?

    Clear the 'cache' in file explorer for already used picture tags?


    If you set some tags for your *.jpg pictures, the windows 10 file explorer shows them in the "details pane" on the right side.

    This list can get very long and with some wrong or no longer used entries.
    How can I clear this list / cache / suggestions?

    Or how can I stop the file explorer to suggests already used Tags?

    Tags arent searching in File Explorer

    Hi Alicia,

    It seems that the Windows Indexing Options settings have changed after installing the recent update. To resolve the search result issue, we suggest rebuilding Indexing Options. To do so, please follow the steps provided by
    Stephanie Sal's post on this
    link.

    Feel free to post back with the result for further assistance.
